Start with a nose screw or ring?

I have been considering getting a nose piercing and have been looking at your website, which I have found very informative and useful.

However, I am a little conflicted as to whether it would be better to start the piercing with a ring or a nose screw. The nose screw has no aftercare, but on this website in the body piercing aftercare section it describes caring for a nose piercing started with a ring.

Which would you recommend as the best way of starting a piercing, assuming I don't have to worry about complying with dress codes?

We use to do the nostril piercing with a ring many years ago but we also found it to be problematic as many were overcleaning. This caused the bump problems to go on for a longer period of time as the ring would have a greater chance of moving where the nostril screw does not.

Its really a matter of choice. If you can and like the ring look, then get it done with a ring. If you want a stud appearance, then get it done with a nostril screw.

Just do not overclean the piercing if getting it done with a ring. As well, use a 16 or 18 gauge captive bead ring as this is the gauge that you will find most of the nostril screws are available in.
